Armor of the Almighty

"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty... under His wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler" (Psalm 91:1,4).  "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.  Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil... and having done all, to stand" (Ephesians 6:10-13). 

There is a place where we may dwell
Protected by the King of kings
From every strategy of hell
Beneath the shadow of His wings. 

The truth of God shall be our shield;
The strength of Christ shall be our power. 
His armor on the battlefield
Shall be our high and mighty tower. 

Though Satan's rage is not yet stilled,
The gates of hell shall not prevail
Against the Church which Christ shall build;
Our Savior's promise shall not fail. 

Well-armored now, Almighty Lord,
Our feet are with the Gospel shod.
We go forth with Your Spirit's sword,
Which is the proven Word of God.
